Dying To Live [Damon or Stefan]

73

You gasp and shoot up, sitting up on a foreign bed and looking around. Damon sat on the end of the bed and looked relieved when he saw you.

"You're finally awake." He breathed out and came closer. "I thought it was too late, that I-"

"Damon what happened?" You asked as your head began to pound and an annoying ache in your gums?

"W-well what do you remember?" He questioned carefully as you furrowed your eyebrows in thought.

"I remember Klaus taking me to the cemetery so that he could swap me for Elena, and I remember you and Stefan turning up without Elena. Then..." You gasped in realisation. "K-Klaus b-bit m-me?" You stuttered as Damon nodded grimly.

"Y/N, I'm sorry but you were loosing too much blood and I couldn't loose you. I know it was a selfish thing to do but-"

"Wait." You cut him off as you began to panic. "I-I'm a v-vampi..." Your voice trailed off, unable to finish the word as your hands went to your mouth in shock.

"I'm so sorry y/n, I promise I'll help you get through this though." Damon reassured you as you nodded warily.

"What happened to Klaus?" You asked and looked around.

"Whilst Klaus was feeding on you Stefan attacked Elijah and I daggered Klaus. Elijah said that this wasn't his fight and left with his brother still daggered." Damon explained.

"Okay, thank you." You breathed out. "I can't believe that I died." You could barely say the word as Damon took your hand in his.

"I know it's going to be hard, the first few days are. But I promise to help you complete the transition and get used to your new life... Well death." He spoke trying to be sympathetic, although you knew that it wasn't in his nature.

"That's not helping Damon." You managed to laugh lightly as he chucked. "How am I going to explain this to my mum?" You thought out loud.

"I was thinking we could leave town for a bit, just until everything's under control." Damon suggested as you think for a moment before nodding.

"Where would we go?" You asked as he shrugged.

"Wherever you want." He smiled as you nodded and tried to get up. "Woah easy there." Damon stops you and hands you a glass of blood. "It's fresh from the vein." He explained as you look up at him with wide eyes.

"Did you-"

"No they're still alive." Damon reassured you. "But you are going to kill people eventually, it's in your nature now."
